TE-106 - Free and Forced Convection System

Reference : TE-106
The TE-106 is a comprehensive educational system designed for studying and demonstrating thermal convection phenomena, including both natural (free) and forced convection. It is ideal for technical and academic laboratories.
🔬 Product Description
The system is based on a vertical air duct where different heating elements can be inserted. An axial fan located at the top draws ambient air into the duct and forces it through the channel.
As the air flows over the heating elements, it absorbs heat, enabling detailed analysis of convection processes. The unit includes four heating elements with different geometries, two of which can also be used outside the duct for natural convection experiments.
Its compact design ensures fast heating and efficient experimental operation.
